Slowly It Comes...

Sudden moves can throw one

off balance swaying here and there

quick catches brings one back to reality

as the body movement becomes strong

 

Everyday there is something to think upon

our movements depend on the situation at hand

our minds then become concentrated on that

thought and we move in a direction of positivity

 

Sometimes ones thoughts have to be

controlled with continued teachings

daily new things happen that brings us

into a new pattern thus, we learn

 

Not being afraid to move forward

is a key to completion of good habits

peace then maintains us but this

might come slowly... but it will come

Avery Village Senior Apts - Patchogue, NY (Long Island)

August 11, ???? - February 12, 2024 

 

Living in a senior apt complex can

be trying at times everyone knows each other

with a hello or goodbye on a daily basis until

tomorrow then greetings start all over again

 

A neighbor passed the other day but

this is common here in our senior complex

we hear lots of things weekly and then

tell another the story that we just heard

 I have known this neighbor about 14 years

as I have lived here 20 years come June 1st

of course you get to know almost everyone

even if it is just a casual hello as we stroll by

Prayers are being said for the passing of our

neighbor and we send her lots of love now

that she is in heaven with our God knowing

he will take care of her blessed soul...

Beautiful Snow...

 

A  beautiful fall yesterday

not a season but snow from the sky

white and fluffy drifting slowly down

pure and joyous the snow comes to us

 

Winter was strong this year

with rain, winds and now snow

it is the first big storm we have had

in 3 years here on Long Island

 

With me I can stand at my window

and see all the beauty for I

don't have to go out into the world

I am retired with Gracie and Ginger

 

They lay on the window sill and watch

the drifts that come down so beautiful

Mommy says 'see the snow girls'

and they look at me so excited

 

Once in a while I will open the door

and let them feel the snow outside

they both come running back to me

with a brrrr within their purrs...

Within One's Mind...

 

What goes on within us
is an emotional mental tape

images thoughts and words

remain and repeat over and over

One must learn to control

these emotional thoughts

that brings us depression

unworthiness and confused minds

 

This takes practice to relearn

and guide to control our emotions

that come from continued visions

within one's overflowing mind

Nothing is instant

nothing is right now

be patient and learn

for it will all come in time

- Rhoda Galgiani

Author's Note:

Watching Dr. Charles Stanley the other night

he stated that the thoughts in our mind are

like a tape. To stop the thought pattern pull

the tape out of your head, rip it up and throw

it away mentally. I am now practicing this suggestion

to gain a new thought process' with my thinking...rg
